*Enriching Your Mentoring Relationships *

We all hear the buzzword  "mentoring" in relation to career success, but 
most of us don't know how to look for a strong mentor or how to use one 
effectively once we have found one. How can you maximize your mentoring 
relationship with your supervisor? How can you go about finding and 
benefiting from additional mentors? This presentation offers practical 
advice on building and maximizing mentoring relationships, and is 
relevant for those on both sides of a mentoring relationship.

*Joanne Kamens* is the Executive Director of Addgene, a mission driven, 
nonprofit dedicated to helping scientists around the world collaborate 
by sharing plasmids. Her presentations are relevant to a wide variety of 
disciplines and career paths. Dr. Kamens received her PhD in Genetics 
from Harvard Medical School and then spent 15 years at BASF/Abbott, 
ultimately serving as Group Leader in Molecular Biology. In 2007, she 
joined RXi Pharmaceuticals as Senior Director of Research 
Collaborations. Dr. Kamens founded the current Boston chapter of AWIS, 
the Association for Women in Science. She was Director of the HBA Boston 
Mentoring Program for 3 years, serves on a number of non-profit boards, 
and speaks widely on career development topics. In 2013, Dr. Kamens was 
elected as a fellow to the Massachusetts Academy of Science for her 
service to the science community and the public.
